HUMANITY has a filthy secret: our ancestors used to have sex with members of other species. Thats the finding in a new piece of research which suggests ancient people used to romp with a ghost species of proto human.
We are just one of a number of species known as hominins. Members of this family include Neanderthals and Denisovans, which are no longer found on Earth. It seems that interbreeding between different early hominin species is not the exception its the norm, said Omer Gokcumen, assistant professor of biological sciences at the University of Buffalo.
Gokcumen tested the DNA of humans living in Sub-Saharan Africa and found genes which were wildly different from versions found in other modern humans. These genes probably trace back to prehistoric rumpy pumpy which probably took place about 150,000 years ago between our ancestors and a mysterious species.
Based on our analysis, the most plausible explanation for this extreme variation is archaic introgression the introduction of genetic material from a ghost species of ancient hominins, Gokcumen added. This unknown human relative could be a species that has been discovered, such as a subspecies of Homo erectus, or an undiscovered hominin. We call it a ghost species because we dont have the fossils. People living today would be a lot more like Neanderthals had it not been for a quirk of evolutionary fate.

you beat me to it.
Hmmmm...Canadians?
And then there are all these lawyers and liberals.............
The mysterious species are sheep! Just watch some of the aerial videos of that action on YouTube (there have been links on FR)...

Now they are. Or they will be.
But when we thought they were different species we thought they couldn't interbreed.
The Internet is telling me that dogs and wolves are now considered the same species because they can interbreed to produce hybrids that can also interbreed.
First I've heard of it.

Well, God created and the created creatures reproduced after their own kind.... so says Genesis 1. ( no, men and angels did not produce anything- not the same kind as we see in biologic law today) That said, man was continually evil, so bestiality or other forms of non-procreative sex obviously occurred. Then God flooded the earth killing off everything but the kinds gathered into the ark, and 8 souls.... All human and married by golly. They repopulated the earth. Man went off the farm again but God chose not to reboot a second time.
Look in the dirt, well, you’ll find dirt....
It's hard to believe Democrats have been around this long. It explains a great deal.
